Girl I was struggling but not really…I have natural hair so already that’s a problem…I would do my own braids or sometimes ask my friend to help me. I had a wig but never wore it so most of the time I had braids or just went with my Afro to work. I don’t mind doing my own hair the only problem is that it takes hours and I want to sleep. But there’s people that know how to do hair onboard so you can pay them or go outside in ports and do your hair at a salon
Hey, usually people in the shops department are allowed in most of the passenger areas since they work with guests already. I know they also allowed to eat in the guest buffet area
Hi Mtase . I`m sold I really want to try this out. Currently working abroad teaching English but I love cruises . What is the minimum amount a first timer earns if you don`t mind sharing.
Hey, I’m in the entertainment department so I don’t know much about that. I had one friend in the medical department tho and she seemed like she had a good life onboard and they finished work early( unless there’s an emergency of course) they also had access to guest areas and could eat in the guest buffet area)
Thank you so much for this helpful video love. Question: which ship did you work for in your first contract and which one are you working for now? Looking forward to hearing from you💕
Hey Jessica, I use Nedbank but when you get onboard they give you a new bank card where they pay you your salary. I would send some of the money to my nedbank account to save and since it was an international payment thing the bank transfer charges where $4. I didn’t really have any bank charges the only thing I paid for was the $4 to Transfer money between the two cards. When you work on a cruise ship it’s tax free so we don’t have to worry about that for now🙆🏾♀️
@KoketsoHolly oh okay. Do you know any companies that foreigners can be able to apply for jobs for cruise ships, or if you have a link to a video that you cover about that?
They mostly look at experience, but with some positions even if you don’t have they still hire you. But obviously if you want to apply to be the doctor on board then they’ll look at qualifications and experience
Hey Girl im just did my passport last week waiting for collection date , i wanted to ask how much was the CD1 visa and how long does it take for you to get it ?
Hey i don't remember the exact amount i paid for my C1D Visa but i did a video on how much i paid for everything and i included the visa price as well, please check ( ua-cam.com/video/_Qb3yvWM8u0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared) It took me like a week to get it
Hey yes, check out the description box in this video( ua-cam.com/video/3gTSYq03MeA/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared ) for a list of cruise lines you can apply to. Then go to the careers tab and look for positions in the medical department
@@KoketsoHolly Okay that's nice but I was saying the ship itself is iy safe on the Sea. Is it rare to experience tabulations onboard or happens more often
As a black girl how do you manage to get your hair done since youre away for a long time?

Hey, i think this depends on the position you'll be applying for, but usually its from $1000 going up in the entertainment department
Please can you tell me about nurses' life on board?

Hey Koki I want to ask after the contract do you pay from your own pocket returning home or do they pay for ya'll?
@@GomolemoMosiane-i6t Hey most companies pay for your flights back home💖
Howdy, I hope you been doing well and it would be nice to hear about what the things you enjoy and don't like about working on a cruise ship.
I enjoy going out and exploring all the different places and I dislike the fact that we work everyday🤔
@@KoketsoHolly
Glad you had a chance to explore, what are some self-care things you were able to do to stay grounded on the cruise ship?
Thank you so much for this helpful video love. Question: which ship did you work for in your first contract and which one are you working for now?
